Not that I really want the Wings to get any better, but here is the formula for success:

Get rid of Bertuzzi and get rid of Eaves. They are cursed.

Bertuzzi Curse

Eaves Curse

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The Bertuzzi curse explains everything.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Credit where credit is due...near perfect road game tonight by the Canucks. They clogged up the passing and shooting lanes all night, and though the Hawks had 30 shots, very few were quality chances. Luongo was much improved in rebound control as well.

I look for the Hawks to make some adjustments, and have a much better game Tuesday night in Vancouver.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well managed road game by the Canucks today. Not to mention an excellent game by Luoongo. Here's hoping they keep it up for Game 6 !!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

There you are! Missed your comments after games 2, 3 and 4. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Not a very good game by the Hawks tonight. Here's hoping they will bounce back.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Another 48 hours....meh. Wish they were playing again Monday.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I think we can pull out another win:tu It is hard to play as well as the hawks have been playing in games 2,3, and 4 night after night. I think game 5 was just a little bump in the road, and the hawks just weren't ready for it. Game 6 should be it.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

But then we won't see Sat (dabigdog) in the thread!! ;) :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Tough one Tom

Win for the hawks, or banter with Sat?? Just too hard for me to choose:r

Im sure he is looking forward to LOTS of banter in this thread though..:tf

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

LMAO! I've been busy crying myself to sleep after game 2,3 & 4 :r

Looking forward to game 6 & 7 !! I just hope we have enough D-men left. LOL! Looks like Salo busted a Nut last night and underwent an operation on his Testicle :hn

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Sure, I'll be around....cheering for any team that isn't called CHICAGO :banger:banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That hurts just thinking about it...hate to see anyone het hurt like that, even a Canuck. :eek:

Ok, you can see why I was wondering....didn't see you cheering for anyone at all for a 6 day stretch there, that by coincidence was the period between games 2 and 5. ;) :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Actually, the real reason was that I was busy :D. Didn't get too many opportunities to log on and trash talk. And to be honest, the way the nucks lost game 2,3 & 4, any incentive I had to trash talk was gone anyways :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I saw that you had logged on....but I guess you didn't want to face the music when the 'Nucks were screwin' the pooch. :)

If that's the case, no offense intended...but I hope we don't see you tomorrow night. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

No offense taken. Sometimes it's better to hide in a hole somewhere and forget that golfing season is one loss away ...LMAO!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wow...that Pens-Habs game was just crazy. Bring on game 7, this is some exciting hockey!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Pens need to really get it together. Habs are looking real good!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Habs might be the only team I can root for anymore. Sidney Crosby is the least likable person ever!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Flyers have made this a series! The Bruins lack of discipline tonight was pathetic. It looks like their injuries may be catching up to them.

Boucher looks like he may have been seriously hurt tonight. Thank goodness Leighton was able to dress for the first time in 2 months. Hopefully he can get hot and help extend the series further.

For obvious reasons I wasn't able to see much of the Pens/Habs game, but when there was a commercial I caught glimpses. The Bell Centre was rockin'! I wish they weren't playing game 7 the same night the Flyers were playing. Two great nights of hockey ahead Tuesday and Wednesday. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Great win by the Habs tonight, they are certainly looking like giant-killers! :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

uhh no that would be bertuzzi. I don't recall cindy nearly killing someone on the ice by being a goon and ending their carrer. One of the top 5 cheapshots of all time.

not that I like Cindy and all his crying, but dude has skill.

awesome night of hockey tonight. Can the flyers force a game 7?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Even Bobby Orr's historic flight couldn't inspire the B's tonight.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Props to the Flyers for Coming out last night to play Hockey and want the win.


The Bruins where pathetic last night:2 They played with no heart, no fire no sense of wanting to win last night. Then they take I think it was 3-4 penalties in the third that were just lazy bad penalties.

Maybe game six they can come out with some fire because the way the flyers are playing they will have to...

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

after the last B's Flyers game they were commenting on how tired the B's looked. What's scary is for this game they looked even slower. This could be very bad. If the flyers take the next one it may spell doom.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hope the Hawks look better in game 6 than the Bruins did.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Bertuzzi is irrelevant.

I don't care how much skill Crosby has, I hate him. I can't like a cry baby. He literally disgusts me.

Habs better beat the Pens. I'm fully on the bandwagon.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Habs - Hawks SCF? :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Getting close to game time. HUGE game for the hawks, hope they can pull off a win.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

My predictions are a win for the Hawks tonite followed by a second major upset by the Habs tomorrow!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Nice avatar Geoff:D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That Hawks part just makes me cringe :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

First 5 minutes of this game was some of the best non-scoring hockey I have ever seen.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Salo playing tonight. MANS GAME! Just saw them interview him for a second though. Said he didnt feel much do to the pain meds he's on. LOL

Not sure I liked Buf's hit on Edler looks like he hooked the leg on purpose and as a result Edler was injured.

Hawks score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make it 2! 36 seconds apart.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

come on Hawks! keep it up and get to the next series tonight!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Canucks on life support. Will take a huge effort to even tie and down defensemen its not looking to good.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I could live with that. :)

:td


3-0 Hawks....let's go for the jugular. :bx

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Whats with that weird gesture Kane just made? He did it twice, kinda looked like he was signaling that he 'Parted the D' or maybe 'The Seas Parted'?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks win now face the Sharks!

Go Hawks!

Tomorrow's game with the Habs and Pens will be crazy.

Habs and Bruins would be sweeet.

As you may tell, I'm cheering for some new blood in the games this year, but am a Bruins fan so, I need them to kick some ass and skate tomorrow.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Officially worried as a Sharks fan.
This series looks like it will be very violent and have a lot of hitting. It could end up making which ever team escapes an easy mark for the Eastern Conf Team.
I am thinking both teams will get their hate on early and often.

If the Habs take the Pens I would love to see Boston take them. Thats if the B's make it to the dance. They have not looked good in the last 2.

All that said this years playoffs have been amazing. Upsets and great action.





LOL Checkout Tom getting his hate on. Man I didnt even hit the Wings like that and you know my disdain. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I was provoked. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wait and I wasnt? All year long? :r

While I would prefer my Sharks to win I am in a happy spot. The Hawks with Cheli and Roenick were my childhood team. The two years JR was on the Sharks I was happy. So I will prefer the Sharks but wont mind seeing the Hawks advance. Either one as long as they go all the way. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I have a buddy who used to be the Sharks back-up goalie, Mike. I would be happy for you if the Sharks advance, and would root for Pavelski to get a Cup. But I would be lying if I said I would be happy for anyone but the two of you. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well, there's always next year :( Props to Chicago...two years in a row ....damn!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Gotta admit the Canucks had me nervous more than once....props to them for a good season.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Aren't ya glad we didn't make it 10 sticks now? ;)
